Again, other than Snape, it looks incredible. They actually got people who love Harry Potter to work on it and it shows with the level of detail both in production design and even down to their clothing.

Will watch to see how it is... I do think they should have stuck closer to John Williams Score but i wont let it ruin the show for me. I'll give Black Snape Moan a chance but plan to roll my eyes.

I mean it’s Hans Zimmer, mate. The score isn’t going to be bad by any means

The Hermione in that trailer was black?


She has Greek ancestry. Any type of skin color = black to this board, though

Man not a good look it's going to be when Harry suspects the only black teacher in Hogwarts is up to no good

Other than that the show looks like it's going to be really good

Glad they listened to the criticisms and brightened up the color grading. The first trailer in March was significantly darker and duller.

I'm really looking forward to getting the entire family together and watching this on Sunday nights. Love when HBO has a show my wife and I can watch together on Sunday nights, typically HBO, but being able to add the kids makes this even better. It looks really good.

wish we could have gotten a show about the marauders school days


Don't know if its bc I opened this or what, but had a video pop up that talked about this... Apparently WB had this on the books, the writers wrote two episodes, and then they shelved it for this.

The more they show the bigger unforced error black Snape looms.

Simply
Makes
No
Sense.

The two main characters that were picked on by rich white kids... are now both black. That is enough for me to pass.

I don't think they are adding "new things". Very large sections of books were left out of the movies, apparently, because...they are movies and don't have time for everything


The movies from OotP and beyond were abominations, so maybe they can remedy a lot of that. Plus, these kids aged out of those roles very early on.

This is what I was referring to and if they want to do something like make Draco Malfoy sympathetic earlier than HBP that's a poor move

The actress who plays Hermione isn't black.

As if to prove the point of my post earlier. Any type of non white skin = black to this website

I feel like this will be great, but I won't be able to enjoy it because the original actors and actresses are just so engrained in my mind to those roles.

For instance I just look at the screenshot for that trailer, see that kid posing as Harry Potter, and all I can think is "that goofy looking little shite isn't Harry Potter" because all I can picture is Daniel Radcliffe. Same with Emma Watson and Hermoine, and that ginger frick.

Its operation human shield like always. The defense will be “muh racist just hate black Snape” the truth is they are changing the story and have admitted they’re doing it which is what’s really going to piss fans off.

I'm largely with you guys on Snape, it makes very little sense for THAT character to be race swapped. It has extremely extensive consequences

I really haven't seen anything saying the story is being changed in any appreciable way. Point me in that direction
